Abstract

This research aims to describe the perception of The Baduy People Towards Formal Education And Analyze How Tradition And Modernization Interact In The Process. Through a qualitative descriptive method based on literature studies and interviews, this study found that rejection of formal schools was based on concerns about changes in people's character and lifestyle. However, Baduy Luar's openness to technology and training activities shows that there is limited adaptation to the times. The implications of this view include limited access to formal education, narrow modern job opportunities, maintaining cultural identity, and the emergence of dilemmas for the younger generation. These findings underscore the importance of an educational approach that respects local cultural values and is more sensitive to the needs of indigenous peoples. The Baduy people have a different view of formal education. For them, education does not have to be done through school, but through life experiences, parents' examples, and traditional values that are inherited from generation to generation. This attitude places families and communities as the main educators, as well as a strong reason for their rejection of the existence of formal schools in customary territories. Previous research shows that modernization, globalization, and technological developments have begun to affect some of the Outer Baduy people, although the acceptance of modern things is done selectively so as not to contradict customs. However, in-depth studies on how the Baduy people themselves interpret formal education are still rarely carried out.
